New Work for 2018!

I'm very fortunate to be asked to write a piece for Matthew Pearce Public School! They have asked for a level 1.5 piece with some contrasting sections to suit their Intermediate Band. It's coming together nicely with melodic parts for all sections of the band. This will be my first level 1.5 piece and the second piece I've written for the Matthew Pearce Public School Band program! Thank you again Garry and Renee for asking me to write for your band!
